Jessica Jones: Krysten Ritter Responds to Series Cancellation News

Fans were rocked earlier today by the news that Netflix was cancelling both The Punisher and Jessica Jones, months before the latter season even premiered its third season on the premium streaming service.

In a post on her Instagram account, star Krysten Ritter commented publicly for the first time on the Marvel Cinematic Universe series' cancellation, thanking the cast, crew and fans for the opportunity to portray the super-powered detective for the past five years.

Ritter starred as the popular Marvel character, first created by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos in 2001's Alias #1, in all three seasons of the Netflix series as well as the crossover miniseries The Defenders. While no official premiere date for the third and final season has been announced, it is expected sometime in early summer and marks Ritter's directorial debut.
